"A Political Zomedy"
This movie is another one of the films selected for the After Dark Horrorfest IV, and although it tries to stay very tongue-in-cheek, I was undecided whether to take it wholly serious, or wholly for fun.
First off, the film is riddled with Iranian/Iraqi and gay jokes. Maybe that's the "in" thing right now, but I was wondering how viewers would see it ten years or so down the road.
The film is one of those "the military is doing illegal experiments on a little town without the inhabitants knowing about it." I'm sorry, but that scenario is quickly growing stale. The town itself is a real place up in Washington state, and it's a beautiful little Norman Rockwell village.
The blood effects are super cool, I must admit. The acting is tolerable. But instead of watching it play out with baited breath, I found myself leafing through the latest Fangoria magazine while it continued on in the background.
If you want to see a terrific "zomedy", go rent ZOMBIELAND or SHAWN OF THE DEAD. As for this movie, my recommendation is to
